Music Research for the Video

-
We decided to research both Northern Soul songs and instrumental pieces so that we would have a variety of music to choose from.

Songs:

Roy Redmond - Ain't That Terrible 


Shirley Ellis - Soul Time


The Vibrations - Cause you're mine


Marvelle & The Blue Match - Soul Fever


Instrumentals:

The Just Brothers - Sliced Tomatoes


Billy Preston - Billy's Bag


TKOs - The Charge


The Jades - Snatch N' Grab It



We decided to use The Just Brothers Sliced Tomatoes for the music in our video because we preferred the effect of just an instrumental piece of music created as a lot of Northern Soul songs' lyrics don't fit in with the concept and theme of our video.

The concept of the shoot is a brother and sister visiting their favourite locations and stores in and around Sheffield to showcase family, whilst including references to Northern Soul and Sheffield street style through the places we visit and the garments we wear. As the brother and sister in the shoot is going to be myself and my brother we are going to visit our favourite street art locations as they are a big element of Sheffield and why we like the city. We are also going to visit our favourite vintage stores, Mooch Vintage and Vulgar Vintage as we both personally love to source our fashion from vintage stores and this is also a big trend around Sheffield and Sheffield street style and a popular trend in general. We are also going to visit Bear Tree Records as my brother in particular likes to collect music on records and we can include Northern Soul music references from here.

Concept: > To showcase family in a casual/candid way around locations in Sheffield, including references to Northern Soul. Narrative: > Brother and sister walking round Sheffield visiting their favourite locations/stores. > Candid shots: - Flicking through boxes of records in Bear Tree Record store. - Looking through clothe...
